Improved Health and new Weather apps with Pebble 3.13 firmware

Pebble’s latest Kickstarter campaign is in full swing (with more than US$10 million already raised) but that has not stopped the company from continuing to enhance its Pebble operating system and apps. Its latest firmware, Pebble 3.13, comes with an improved Pebble Health app, an official Weather app and more.

Pebble Health has been improved with enhanced step and sleep algorithms. For example, it will no longer track movement during sleep as steps (but does it know if you’re sleepwalking?). The mobile graphs have also been improved and now include the last time updated, clearer messaging and support for 24-hour time.

The official Pebble Weather app delivers daily weather information right to your Pebble Timeline. Information provided by The Weather Channel includes current temperature, current conditions, highs and lows for the day, and the next day’s forecast.

Last but not least, the Pebble Time can now display a new fire emoji appropriate for describing summer days, “a sick burn, or noting a hot new song.”

To update you Pebble smartwatch to the latest firmware, select Menu » Support » Update Your Pebble from the Pebble smartphone app.
